Scalar quantities are measurements which have no specific physical direction. Two fundamental scalar quantities are mass and time. Mass and time simply exist without any directionality whatsoever. By way of comparison, distance is a fundamental vector quantity and not a scalar quantity. You cannot travel any distance without going in a specific physical direction: up or down, left or right, north or south, forward or backward, etc.
